Toen zeide David tot Gad: Mij is zeer bang; doch laat mij in de hand des Heren vallen, want zijne barmhartigheid is zeer groot; ik wil niet in de hand van mensen vallen.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Chronicles 21:13. David said - I am in a great strait — The Targum reasons thus: "And David said to Gad, If I choose famine, the Israelites may say, The granaries of David are full of corn; neither doth he care should the people of Israel die with hunger. And if I choose war, and fly before an enemy, the Israelites may say, David is a strong and warlike man, and he cares not though the people of Israel should fall by the sword. I am brought into a great strait; I will deliver myself now into the HAND of the WORD of the LORD, ביד מימרא דיי beyad meymera dayai, for his mercies are many; but into the hands of the children of men I will not deliver myself."
